These are Wild Mass Guesses for Naruto which have been confirmed by the series or by Word of God. If a WMG on one of the open pages is confirmed, please move it here.
Please add new confirmed entries to the bottom of the page.
- The first-run Volume 8 Uncut DVD includes a gashopon officially labeled "Summon: Tonton"
- Confirmed for the Fourth Hokage; Madara admits he's impressed Minato injured him, and retreats after he no longer has control of the fox, promising to bring it under his control again someday.
- Seriously. I'm looking forward to seeing how Sasuke reacts when he finds out that that secret Weapon of Mass Destruction that he's planning to wipe out Konoha with? Kakashi's got it too. Alternate dimension porthole trumps black fire - especially when considering the Convection, Schmonvection trope that this series loves to wave around.
- Wait, Sasuke's still planning on destroying Konoha? Being Akatsuki members aside, I thought the Power of Teamwork made him change his mind (he's already changed team name from "Snake" to "Hawk"), unless all those flashbacks of him talking to Madara were flashforwards (or plans)
- He changed the name to reflect the change in purpose, although it's possible he may have second thoughts at some point, especially since he remembers the Team 7 picture during his flashback, and specifically assumes out loud that the Akatsuki haven't captured Naruto, which could indicate that he still doesn't want Naruto to get caught.
- So he's gone from "Kill Itachi" to "destroy Konoha" to "kill Danzo" to "destroy Konoha; Danzo's just a bonus!" Goddamnit, in the latest chapter he's officially Pain 2.0. At least he's finally settled on a personality (or has he?).
- The wild mass guess was pretty much confirmed by the Five Kages arc. Team Hawk got slaughtered, and even Sasuke got his ass handed to him. He'll probably level up for the future, but for now, Take That, Scrappy!!
- Not to mention that the team has effectively been dissolved with Sasuke tossing all three of them aside with Suigetsu and Jugo captured by the samurais and Karin taken to Konoha.

- Or rather a Haku puppet will return because of the Rinnengan.
- Not quite, Haku is the sixth body in the coffins. Because.
- Confirmed. It's not the Rinnengan, and it's probably not the sixth body, but Haku IS raised by Kabuto. Congratulations on a really good guess!
- This is also canon. Well, maybe not the second part, but the first part is.
- Confirmed. The first part, anyway.
- The Jinchuriki were all revived by Edo Tensei, but from the looks of it, they're just the mindless zombie types.
- Yes, but through Kushina, as the Uzumakis are distant relatives to the Senju (plus it's possible that Senju-Uzumaki marriages were common to some degree prior to the latter's downfall since Hashirama was married to an Uzumaki) and there's no official information concerning Minato's family life outside his marriage to Kushina and conceiving Naruto.
- At this point it sort of seems that everyone in the Leaf Village except the Uchiha are descendant from the Senju clan (unless they allowed immigration at some point).
- People keep saying that (especially on this wiki) but that doesn't seem to be the implication. There were obviously other clans in the Fire Country at the time of Konoha's founding, and they would no doubt have seen the advantage in joining with the Senju and Uchiha. Furthermore, civilians (especially merchants) would see an opportunity for work in the village and I doubt the First Hokage would have prohibited them from moving in. In fact, there would be a distinct advantage to allowing members of civilian families to become shinobi since their only loyalty would be the village, not their clan.
- Yeah, no matter how many members the Senju had or if they all married into different clans, a little over 80 years is not long enough for them to have intermarried with everyone.
- To be exact, the Senju and Uzumaki clans simply share a common ancestor. Naruto is related to the Senju, but not descended from them.
- It has to be noted, however, that even though he is not descendant from Senju but rather from their ancestor, it's the relation to said ancestor that is important. He is, just like them, a descendant of the younger son of Sage of the Six Paths.

- Confirmed
- But that's the exact opposite of how Impure World Resurrection works: it takes the real soul and makes a fake body that looks and works like the person being resurrected out of a living body. The only way it could be Madara's body is if the man in the mask is Madara's body (or used to be, given what he was doing in his lab a couple episodes ago) which is somehow living on and having a will despite not having its soul pass on.
- Bah, we're basing what we know about how the technique works off of out-dated information from the only other time it showed up. Most of what's known to be 'true' about it has its roots in fanon, not canon. Besides, Naruto changes how things work all the time. I'm sticking with my guess.
- It is not fanon, "taking the dead person's soul and putting it in the body of a living person which is then made to look like that of the dead person" is exactly how it's described to work in both the manga and the databooks, and the detail that the bodies resurrected by Kabuto are still in the "not fully formed" stage indicates it still works the same way.

- That's operating under the assumption that Madara's soul is actually alive. As a guess above stated, Tobi could just be trolling and pretending to be Madara. We've never seen Tobi use the Mangekyou (which would be pretty solid proof that he's Madara), so we don't even know if he can, much less what it looks like. We've never seen enough of his face to know anything more than that he's got some nasty bags and the Sharingan. Tobi could be freaking out because Kabuto found out his secret (that he isn't actually Madara) and showed off his knowledge by summoning up the real Madara as blackmail. Could also explain the subtle snark Kabuto's got going on over Tobi's name.
- Confirmed, more specifically going towards the bullet above this one.
- Some translations call Kakashi's lightning clone a "Lightning Shadow Clone Jutsu," so it's possible that the "Hokage Bunshin no Jutsu" will create shadow clones made out of fire.
- Its "Raiton Bushin", also most water style ninjas master "Mizu Bushin(no jutsu)". Naruto got the complete technic (Kage Bushin no jutsu). Its rather that each clones becomes more wimpy than the last. That likely means that something we already know:
- Kage bushin is effective at a low number, and uses to much chakra to be effective in higher numbers, aka what we se in the series.
- Mizu Bushin creates cheap clones, really cheap clones. So long there enough water nearby... [[Mooks They are also a lot weaker.]]
- Raiton bushin no jutsu, i works and is powerful. The catch? Still pops on hit, and uses massive amounts of mana.
- With this we can speculate that Doton is a solid clone, mediocre cost but solid. And some major disadvantage?
- Katon might work, but it will last a short time. But likely not doable.
- I have an inkling there doesn't have to be a clone technique for every element. At the same time, let's not rule out bloodline limits! Haku recreated his own version with the ice mirrors where his real body became multiple bodies through instant reflection. But I don't think Sasuke can mix fire and lightning, sounds improbable.
- Its "Raiton Bushin", also most water style ninjas master "Mizu Bushin(no jutsu)". Naruto got the complete technic (Kage Bushin no jutsu). Its rather that each clones becomes more wimpy than the last. That likely means that something we already know:
- Partially confirmed: It's not that the Shadow Clone technique is incomplete, Naruto simply couldn't use it well in the beginning. By now he fully mastered it, and it has become quite effective.
The Rasengan was incomplete because it lacked an infused affinity. While Naruto eventually succeeded in adding his wind element to the technique and greatly increased its power, the reality is that the normal Rasengan can be infused with any secondary power source. The movies have Naruto do just that, thus explaining why the Rasengan is such a powerful and versatile technique.
- There's also the Demon Fox Rasengan, which Naruto uses at the end of his fight with Sasuke, which was published in the manga at some point after the first movie came out, which is another case of it having an external power source. It's unclear whether it was planned before the first movie came out, though. The Guts Rasengan in the fifth movie, however, seems to be Naruto merely doing the Rasengan many times.
- This isn't really a guess (Baring some of the odder versions that don't make sense for other reasons (IE: the Moon Rasengan)). The Rasengan is just Chakra with Shape manipulation. Theoretically Naruto can make one out of any source of Chakra that can be manipulated.
- Or maybe it's because it makes him "more mysterious" and it's easier to draw.
- Could be a fashion statement. He knows all about the power of spirals and orange.
- Maybe he's Naruto from the alternate future, then? Naruto's name can be translated as "vortex", and he obviously likes orange. It would also explain why he wears mask, seeing as his facial markings would make him rather easy to recognise.
- Or he could just be really disfigured (possibly from the fight at the Valley of the Ends) and just would rather people not see said disfigurement. In other words, he's vain, which is definitely in character for an Uchiha.
- This theory has been confirmed by recent chapters. The real Madara died a long time ago.
- Or not so long ago. We know that he survived his fight with the 1st Hokage and lived long enough to know who Nagato was, so it's ambiguous how long he's actually been dead. He may have died relatively recently.
- This theory is now doubly confirmed, with 'Tobi's' identity being revealed as Obito, or at least his body.
- Could be a fashion statement. He knows all about the power of spirals and orange.
- sorta confirmed. Naruto and Killer Bee have finally met for training.
- Confirmed. It seems like they are officially partners now.
- Confirmed. Except he did this under Madara's direction.
- Regardless of her true intentions, it's likely that Naruto will think she's trying to do B) and hurry to save Sasuke.
- Well, she tried anyway.
- Confirmed by Kabuto
- Confirmed! Madara and Tobi are none other than Obito Uchiha.
- Except that Madara was already manipulating people before Obito went on that mission, its possible that Madara is an unnamed Uchiha that went rogue a long time ago but makes more sense that it is actually Madara.
- Jossed. The Fox directly identified Madara as Madara when he extracted him out of Kushina. Sorry, Obito being Tobi is dead.
- It is now just put up for debate again. It is revealed that in chapter 559, that the REAL Madara Uchiha had been Dead All Along, putting Tobi's identity back into speculation
- While the masked man's identity is a mystery again, it still can't be Obito behind the mask since this guy was around before Obito died.
- Not strictly true, unless I'm completely mistaken. The Masked Man first appeared around the time of Kyuubi attack; that takes place after Obito died.
- Which is between a couple of months to almost a year after Obito died, pretty much rules Obito out even if he did manage to survive, he wouldn't have managed to get a spare Sharingan, upgrade them to Mangekyo and become powerful enough to fight Minato in such a short time.
- If my math is right, it has to be at least a year, if not more. Obito died just after Kakashi made Jonin at age 13. Kakashi is 26 at the start of the series, so Obito died 13 years before the series began. The Nine-Tales attacked Konoha about twelve years before the series began. So that gives him a year, year and a half at most. And Tobi has never demonstrated any use of the Mangekyo Sharingan, so that's not a requirement. If someone helped out Obito, I think it's possible for him to make that transition within a year, especially in a series like this.
- Jossed. Tobi's eye is connected to Kakashi's, and their Space Time powers are also connected. Tobi states that he got his eye from the battlefield where Obito died, meaning he looted it from Obito's corpse.
- It is now just put up for debate again. It is revealed that in chapter 559, that the REAL Madara Uchiha had been Dead All Along, putting Tobi's identity back into speculation
- Confirmed as of Chapter 599.
- Pretty much confirmed in chapter 601.
- Technically confirmed since Chs. 602-603: Madara used Hashirama's plant clone to restore Obito's body, and two Zetsus (the White Zetsu we know and another "Swirl" Zetsu) serve as his nannies. Swirl Zetsu even became Obito's Powered Armor.
- Confirmed in a flashback by the elderly Madara Uchiha himself in Ch. 606.
- Confirmed as of Chapter 631, where it is revealed she has her own version of the Yin Seal just like Tsunade. Unlike her, she does not need to use it to look younger in addition to the SuperStrength it gives her
- Confirmed, in a way, as of Chapter 645. It's not with Awakened Jinchuriki Mode, but Tailed Beast Mode. Naruto also notes that gathering natural energy is faster.
He and the real Madara have the same seiyuu, what gives them the same voice. So, they will handwave it by saying the masks he used to wear changed his voice. He might as well get his original voice actor back.
- Confirmed.
- Perhaps Gai will somehow be saved from dying through a cunning use of those of Rikudou's ninja tools that are now presumably in Team Gai's possession.
- I doubt it. Opening the eighth gate destroys the user's heart. Even Karin wouldn't be able to save him. No, I expect that Gai will go out in a blaze of glory with the eighth gate, which will let him use a technique called either the Final Lotus or the Omega Lotus, which is the final move in the Lotus Chain.
- Lotus part is Jossed; it allows him to use the Evening/Nighttime Elephant, which create air shockwaves that are shaped like an elephant's foot.
- Confirmed on the survival: Naruto stepped in at the last second to restore Guy's life force. Sorry about boasting, but that cathartic feeling when a WMG I wrote turns out to be true.
- CONFIRMED!
- Building from this Obito will be the one to finally take Madara down, using the Death God seal he learned by observing Minato with the Sharingan.
- Confirmed in Chapter 675!
- Pretty much Jossed as of Ch. 510: Madara used Izanagi just recently in his fight with Konan using the eye he hides under the mask (which of course is closed forever). He was probably that shifty in his battle with Hashirama.
- That was Obito using a spare sharingan to use Izanagi.
- Although he has an endless supply of Sharingan, so he could have used it before.
- Confirmed in chapter 681, Madara used Izanagi as a time delayed jutsu to revive after the fight with the first Hokage, though it was his right eye.
As we all know, very few things that are mentioned don't get used again. Now, I believe that the actual mastermind is one of the people who showed up for maybe one chapter and haven't been mentioned again.[[supersecretspoiler: Specifically, Kushina.]]
- Almost certianly true, but I'm going to bet whoever the Real Final Boss is will end up getting instagibbed by a returned Orochimaru who will be the real Real Final Boss.
- ...You did see the spoilered text, right? And my further above WMG about the parentage of a pair of characters? [[supersecretspoiler: S]]HE might just be The Dragon.
- I did. Doesn't mean I agree with it though.
- ...You did see the spoilered text, right? And my further above WMG about the parentage of a pair of characters? [[supersecretspoiler: S]]HE might just be The Dragon.
- Confirmed as of 678. The real 'final' (Sasuke as a 'boss') boss is Kaguya, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, and her son, Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu has been pulling the strings for years in order to facilitate the return of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
- Confirmed - sort of. Madara is not the Big Bad, but he did manage to control the Juubi and become its Jinchuuriki.
- Confirmed. The Black Half is truly in power, as it is the manifestation of Kaguya's will/her son, and the white Zetsus actually just the trapped souls of those in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
- Orochimaru's arms returned to him automatically after the seal was broken despite them being sealed into Hiruzen's stomach, so Kurama's Yin half will probably automatically return to him.
- Seems to be jossed, since Minato is wielding the yin half. Besides, Kishimoto hates the idea of just handing Naruto power, unless he can come with a reason on the spot why he earned it.
- Confirmed. Minato, and then Obito, transfer the rest of Yin-Kurama's power to Naruto.
- Confirmed, though kind of in an inverted way. Madara was more than excited to ignore his plot in order to fight Hashirama, while Hashirama was set on stopping the Juubi first.
- Confirmed, with small differences. Sasuke does not act alone. Naruto & Sasuke (along with the rest of Team 7 and Obito, team up to defeat the Big Bad, and now Sasuke has challenged Naruto over the fate of the world.
- Partially confirmed. Black Zetsu forces Obito to revive Madara, but Madara does not revive Obito.
- No way will he just let Obito do as he pleases with the Juubi.
- Confirmed. Obito was meant to revive him, but after he strayed, Black Zetsu forced Obto to revive Madara, and Madara sealed the Juubi into himself.
- Or, as an alternative, Obito will gouge out the left Rinnegan and have Kakashi blow his right arm that's holding the eye away to the Kamui dimension. Preventing Madara from getting his hands on it and giving it to Kakashi for use simply because he wants to screw over Madara for the last time. Kakashi will get his right arm torn off by Black Zetsu, so he'll use Obito's right arm to fulfill the requirements of Rinnegan use.
- Confirmed via post-humous chakra transfer, though it's only temporarily. The Sharingan fades away as Obito's spirit does.
- Confirmed in Chapter 25 of Boruto
